I do not not have a Michaels near me, so when I went to Austin for my daughters swim meet, I saw one. I wondered in to look at the price of sizzix so that I would know what to bid on E-bay. I bought a few small things and when I checked out the cashier whipped out a 50% off coupon and used it on my highest price item($2). I asked her if I could use that on a sizzix. She said yes and I turned to my Hubby and said pleaseeeeeeeeeee. Now I am a proud owner, but I do not have any dies. Oh well, now my hubby knows what to get me for Christmas.
